The pastry mix for Constantinopolitan tsoureki contains mastic and mahleb, which give the dough its distinctive aroma. It helps create an elastic dough that can be shaped and braided, with a chewy texture and long strands. It also helps retain moisture and keeps the tsoureki soft for several days.
To prepare, combine 1,000 g of mix, 1,000 g of strong flour, 300–330 g of cold water, and 100 g of yeast for sweet doughs. Leave the dough to rest as a ball for about 20 minutes. After shaping it into ropes, leave it to rest for another 15 minutes. Then braid it and proof for about 60 minutes at 35 °C and 60–70% relative humidity. Bake without steam at 170–180 °C for about 30–35 minutes for a 450 g tsoureki. Store the mix in a cool, shaded place.
